Experimental astroparticle physics - Senior at Brussels U., IIHE

The experimental particle and astroparticle physics group is located within the Inter-university Institute for High Energies (IIHE – ULB/VUB). This research group of 100 people has a long history at the forefront of experimental research with major contributions to detector construction and data analysis in accelerator experiments (Delphi at LEP, H1 at DESY and CMS at LHC), in astroparticles (the large-scale South Pole neutrino observatories AMANDA, IceCube, and ARA), in neutrino oscillation physics (OPERA at Gran Sasso, SoLiD at SCK-CEN), and in R&D on data acquisition systems for deployment at future accelerator and non-accelerator facilities, supported by laboratory workshop facilities and technical personnel. The experimental particle physics group maintains a close collaboration with colleagues in the ULB/VUB theory groups whose research interests include phenomenology, cosmology, astroparticle and astrophysics. More details may be found on the institute’s web page: http://www.iihe.ac.be.

A successful candidate shall demonstrate a history of outstanding experimental or observational research and leadership in the field. Strong skills in the development of detector instrumentation are an asset. The candidate is invited to participate in the framework of the existing research projects but is also encouraged to begin new research topics
